The French Rumors.
FhfRj sti-l continue, and come to us in vati
. ovis s?iaj ts; yt wc have nothing official, and
i..?*?iitn? \cry definite. The rumors have shown
t'.v K:?-:K-h fleet? as literally boxing the cont
pass-working ubiquitously, now smashing the
Yankees at New Orleans, next in Hampton
Roads, again off-Charleston and Georgetown,
and, wa sre told, ia addition, that they have
blockaded mest effectually the port of Wilding -
toa. The assurances, again, of French rn ter
ventiou and ?of the declaration of war hy -the
. Km per or, are renewed, as oomiatr. from high
Confederate authorities. We aaa early aay
thut, however plausible the story -may be, it
remains unconfirmed, hy any authoritative
voice. For their own sakes, Franco and Eng?
land should have taken tho field long ago; but
the statesmen of both countries seam to have
been very much' like dur' own-ia the last
?tage of fogy ism. ?
More Rumors.
Another rumor on the street yesterday, was
to the effect that the war was either resumed
already, or waa soon to be resumed. This
"teems premature. Whyt If there had beet;
pending negotiations,.and if these had failed
there might be some ground for the rarmor; bu'
we are yet to learn th it any commission, eithei
on our side or ou that of thc Yankees, hus ye
been appointed for the purpose of negotiation
aud in the present commotions in the Northen
i Government, it will be soma time before an}
Commission is likely to be appointed At th
?ame time, tho arm iee on both sidas are said t
be disintegrating, nuder a furlough of silt;
.jaye. There is no plausibility iu the rumor, a
?Ve think, yet, as there is no sccounting for th
wisdom of men ia these times, the thing is po.<
aible ?Bough. Meanwhile,.quctli the Colum

Particulars of the Killing of Lincoln and
. Seward.
The.latest Nashville and Chattanooga papen?
received through the linea contain fall and
I interesting particulars of "the tra/edy ia high
life," which recently ; occurred ia Washington
City, remiting in the death of the two arch?
fiends of the revolution.
It appears that on the evening of tb* 14th,
Lincoln, muck agaiaat his will, waa persuaded
to visit the theatre in th? Federal capital,
where waa to be represented a' popular piece,
entitled "Our AmencenXSocuin.'' He occupied,
aa usual on- snob occasion*, a t private box.
accompanied by In's-wife. . The representation
of the drama had'hardly begun, when a pisto!
shot waa heard; but this noise created no stir
in the large assemblage, and no excitement wa*
manifest until far above the buz and hum of
the many-voiced multitude, came the screams
and cries of Mrs. Lincoln.
Immediately, a man-jumped from th* box in
front of.the foot-lights, brandishing a dagger,'
and exclaiming. "Sic temper tyrannie-Virginia
is avenged!" Th? crowd, aa if stricken with
paralysis, offered a* obstacle to the egress of
the author of this doughty deed, and he es?
caped.
Great excitement prevailed when th* nature
of thc catastrophe wai understood. Linoeln
was shot through the head, and survived until
next day. ??.""..
About the same hour tins little 'dramatic
spectacle, not ahaounced ia the ?bili, was being
presented at the theatre, a gentleman called at
the residence of Mr. Seward, and called for
that right honorable Secretar)'. The servant
responding to the ball, stated that ht? ?aster
was sick, and had refuged-cona p any. The gen?
tleman persisted, statiag'ihat be had * prescrip?
tion from an eminent physician of Washington,
iud must sae hiim StfiS!

upou thc scene, and denied the visitor admis?
sion. Some little parleying ensncd, when the
nu waloma guest struck yulang. Seward over
the h.'rtd with a bludgeon,, fracturing his skull
iihd doing away with .that portion of the
Reward family. He immediately rushed through
the bal] and entered the room of Secretary
Seward. In this apartment there we1'? col?
lected fire gentlemen, including-the Paymaster
General of the Army. Thc visitor did not stop
u> explain his .business, but approaching th?
bed upon which Seward was reposing, cat hi?
throat. ? general melee thea took place, and
it wa? found necessary to despatch a Mr. Han
